I don’t think this module is keeping up but for everyone else, there is a new version of nicEdit available. To install it, just download nicedit from the source http://nicedit.com and replace nicedit.js and nicEditorIcons.gif in /modules/nicedit/nicEdit/ with the new files. If you have a "src" folder in that directory then delete it. This installs the latest version of nicEdit. Because we are still tied to the Drupal module, there are some trade-offs. You must click "Full Panel" in nicedits admin page to show nicedit's new buttons, or you will only see the buttons that this module currently supports. I'm no coder but I'll have a look at the source, maybe adding the new buttons is easy.

The update even includes an experimental XHTML compliant plugin, though I'm not sure if it's running. Drupal core worthy!

Nicedit is the best wysiwyg editor so far. ;)

The new features are very nice. I had to do some CSS fixes for IE 7 for this, but that is hardly surprising. I am more surprised when IE works at all. (It was collapsing the toolbar and the text area into a slim, vertical column, very annoying).

I am waiting for an update to this module as well to support the new features. Everything seems to work except for the background-color changer. Would love to disable this anyway as well as some of the other buttons but as you mentioned, 'full panel' need to be enabled to see the color picker, edit html button, etc.

Hi dr00b, what's the link to your site? It would be nice to see another nicedit setup. I'm getting the vertical column in IE too, could you show me the CSS you used to fix that?

Thanks

Wishstik, this site where I'm using NicEdit is still under development (localhost) so isn't "live" yet. But here is the CSS overrides that I wrote which fixed the issue for me in IE7... in my case it was OK to have the hard-coded widths (also note in my case I needed the white background for the editor and needed to override the default font so it matched my theme):

/* niceEdit Module Fixes */

#edit-body
{
   width: 550px;
}
.panelContain
{
   width: 550px;
}
.resizable-textarea
{
   background-color: #FFF;
   font-size: 1.4em;
   width: 550px;
   padding: 0;
}

Thanks, that did the trick. My site's fine with hard widths as well...and I never knew you could style the editors WYSIWYG, yay! I'm still keen to see your site, send me a link when it's up.

Thanks n00b

Hello,

Thanks for such a lightweight editor. I am using latest available download from nicedit.com site

I am using it on Drupal 6. I want to make a change as suggested in configuration by using NicUpload.php file so that I can upload images on my server itself.

I also want to specify MaxHeight =100px so that I see scroll bars when text goes beyond limit.

I have specified width in local.css file of my theme which overrides theme's css settings (as suggested by dr00b: Thanks friend)

[code]
/* niceEdit Module Fixes */

#edit-body
{
width: 700px;
}
.panelContain
{
width: 700px;
}
.resizable-textarea
{
width: 700px;
}
[/code]

This code is working fine and I am able to set the with as required.

If I add following two line, they are not working, i.e. this does not set height or uploadURI
[code]
{maxHeight: 100px}
{uploadURI : 'http://guide.isohelpline.com/nicUpload.php'}
[/code]

Please suggest how to implement uploadURI and MaxHeight in drupal 6 with Wysiwyg API. I would like to know which file to amend and how.

I think the correct CSS property is 'max-height'. It also might not be working because nicEdit is doing some sort of Javascript trickery in the code, to keep the form always expanded around text.

BTW this 'project' is dead (NicEdit is now implemented using Wysiwyg API) so I think a better place to ask is on nicedit.com.
